I would like to save a query plan (estimated or actual)
created in Query Analyzer -- paste it into a document,
or simply print. It doesn't seem to be possible to
select and copy the Execution Plan window, and printing
it creates microscopic gibberish which is a waste of
paper. Is it possible to do this?

Set showplan_text is of limited help for the SP I'm
looking at -- while analyzing the SP, it reads ahead
and complains that a temp table created inside the SP
doesn't exist (yet) and exits. Using Ctrl-K to capture
the query plan allows the SP to complete, but saving the
plan is the problem.

Thanks,
Jim Geissman
